Sr. Software Dev Engineer, AWS Direct Connect

Job ID:
| Amazon Data Services, Inc.
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running.

We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.


You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.

You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers.

And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.


We are looking for a senior software development engineer to join our team and help us build the next generation of the AWS Direct Connect service.

This position will be responsible for designing, developing, and supporting features within the AWS Direct Connect service.

First, a bit of background:


Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a broad set of global compute, storage, database, analytics, application, and networking services that help organizations move faster, lower IT costs, and scale applications.

Our services are trusted by the largest enterprises and the hottest startups to power a wide variety of workloads.


The AWS Direct Connect software engineering team invent solutions makes it easy for customers to establish a dedicated network connection from their premises to the AWS cloud.

These connections help to reduce network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience than Internet-based connections.

AWS Direct Connect is currently available in more than 91 locations located in 28 countries.

The opportunity:


The AWS Direct Connect team is looking for technical experts who can help us build large scale distributed systems to meet our customers' demands.

You will be designing, implementing, and operating features to put features into customers' hands quickly.


AWS in general and this business, in particular, operates at very large scale and on critical workloads, so a passion for operational excellence is essential.

Candidates must be comfortable working within a fast-moving startup environment and be eager to embrace ownership and accountability.


Amazon has a fast-paced environment where we "Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History." On a "typical" day, software engineers might whip up a prototype to prove or disprove an idea, instrument code to report a new metric, talk with customers, code up a feature, or draft a proposal for a radical new idea.
